No one shows up to Carrie's birthday party. Or actually, everyone is really, really, really late, and Miranda screams into her answering machine to get a fucking cell phone. So Carrie gets all blue about not having a soul-mate, and Charlotte tests the idea that maybe the four of them are each other's soul mates and men are just for them to have fun with. And single women everywhere rejoice. Then on Carrie's way home she sees a town car parked in front of her building. Its Big, with champagne and balloons. Aww. You know sometimes he's really awesome.
Carrie gets an opportunity to be in a fashion show. Alan Cummings is awesome portraying one half of the Dolce and Gabbana power couple, and Heidi Klum makes us not hate her so much. Carrie also dates a photographer who doesn't think twice about capturing her big fall on the runway. Stanford calls her "fashion roadkill" as the other models walk right over her. It's both sad and hilarious, which I adore the most.
Trey and Charlotte try to work it out, Carrie dates a guy with ADD and Samantha becomes a lesbian - temporarily.
So Aiden and Steve have apparently become best buds and are opening a bar together. The girls are invited. Mostly Miranda, because she nagged Steve to death about changing his station in life. The other girls are dragged into going and Carrie sees Aiden. This is where Samantha asks out loud, "Has he gotten hotter or have I been a lesbian too long." Carrie starts her campaign to win Aiden back. Her desperation hits its peak when she is standing outside his building throwing pebbles at his window. She pleads her case about getting back together. She is persistent. She will not let it go. He yells at her, "You broke my heart." And everyone else's heart breaks a little, too. Carrie runs home defeated, but Aiden comes around. Charlotte and Trey in the meantime have not only decided to give their marriage another go, but to also have a baby. This leads to Charlotte announcing to the entire brunch bunch that she is quitting her job at the gallery to have a baby. Feminism is thrown back 20 years. Miranda and her get in a big fight on the phone about it causing Miranda to throw out her back. She is naked and laying on her bathroom floor waiting on Carrie to come rescue her. Carrie is on deadline, so she sends Aiden. Aiden is still a little pissed from hearing Big's voice on Carrie answering machine one night when they were getting it on, but he is perfect, so he covers Miranda with a towel and carries her to the doctor. Aiden is acting really weird because of Big, and Carrie suspects him of sleeping with someone else, which he isn't because, like I said, He is perfect. She begs him to forgive her in a pleading, "You have to forgive me." So he does and things progress. They do the usual couple things, like exchange keys, and all the girls are impressed. Carrie's computer crashes, and she loses everything. All of her files, all of her columns, her entire life as she points out to Aiden in a very haughty way. Turns out it is her motherboard and the tech guy tells Carrie and Aiden they are not compatible because she's a Mac and he's a PC. I seriously think this is where the latest Mac campaign was originated. So Aiden buys her a new computer, and Carrie takes it all wrong. In the meantime, Miranda's mom dies. So all the girls rally for the funeral. Charlotte takes the reigns in organizing travel arrangements and the perfect arrangement for the service. What else does she have to do? She doesn't have a job anymore. Samantha deals with her grief by having lots of sex with a wrestling coach she just met. But she can't orgasm, which sends her into a panic. Aiden wants to go with Carrie to the funeral, but she tells him she doesn't need him to and they get into a huge fight about how she won't let him in. At the funeral Miranda is being singled out for being single. Apparently everyone else in Miranda's family is coupled up and her sister thinks it will be weird. Miranda wants to stand on her own, just like she does in New York, but walking alone behind the casket causes her to break down. Carrie holds her up and walks her out of the service, and on their way out they see that not only Aiden came to the service, but Steve was there, too. Awww. Carrie spends the summer at Aiden's country house, Miranda finds out that Steve has testicular cancer, and Charlotte works on her and Trey's infertility problems. Big calls Carrie for relationship advice, and ends up driving to Adien's cabin in the country. Aiden wins the award for most understanding boyfriend ever, and we can't fault him too much for getting into a wrestling match with Big in the mud. Samantha is denied a job promoting a new hotel chain because she slept with the contractor. She aptly points out that if she were a man, no one would care, and scores the job in the end. And Miranda tries to cheer up Steve the only way she knows how - by sleeping with him. Well, one ball and a lazy ovary later, and Miranda is knocked up. She doesn't want to keep it. No one wants to tell Charlotte especially since she is the reason she can't have a baby of her own. In the end, Miranda decides to keep the baby, and Charlotte is the happiest of all for her, and I can't believe I am tearing up as I type this.
Samantha starts sleeping with her boss hotel mogul, Richard Wright, Miranda tells Steve about the baby and Charlotte considers adoption. Aiden proposes to Carrie and she says yes! Aiden buys Carries's apartment and the one next to it and moves in. They fight over clutter and renovation stuff. Trey gives Charlotte a cardboard baby as a gag gift because they can't have one of their own, and she sends him to sleep in the guest room. He doesn't come back. They eventually split for good. Carrie won't wear Aiden's engagement ring on her finger, and starts hanging out with a new gay friend and wondering about the life she is about to give up. She continues to freak out when Aiden starts pressuring her to set a date, causing a hive breakout in a wedding dress store. Miranda finds out she is having a boy and her maid Magda is more excited than she is. Samantha starts pressuring Richard to be monogamous, and we wonder which pod the real Samantha is in. Carrie tells Aiden she is freaking over a wedding and needs more time. He pressures her more. They break up.
So Carrie is homeless and becomes "literally the woman who lived in her shoes." After a fight about money and Carrie's lack of responsibility with money, Charlotte gives Carrie her wedding ring to buy her apartment. Samantha tricks Richard into telling her he loves her. Carrie also gets a writing job at Vogue and gets an inappropriate proposition from her boss, who she saw as more of a father figure. Samantha is in her own weird proposition when she has to set up a threesome with Richard and a young chippy at a restaurant they frequent. But the chippy makes Richard feel old, so she's out and Samantha is back in the drivers seat.
Carrie finds out Big is moving to California, so she plans one last evening together before he leaves. She poses the questions of, "Going out of business sex, are we for or against?" But we never really get the answer because Miranda goes into labor and Carrie has to cut her date short. Samantha also discovers that Richard is cheating on her. So much for love.
